I Need You
[Intro]
[?]on the beat
Ooh

[Verse]
You might see me and you may think I'm doing fine
Ha, what you don't see is what I'm keeping behind this round (Oh)
Take a second as a question, you just might find you
That thing you've been strong and weird (What I've been dealing with at the same time)

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know me, so you can't trust me
Yeah, I get that, but we must be
Willing to find things at times together
Nothing's impossible, it's whatever

[Chorus]
I need you
It's time we put our pride on the shelf
I need you
Don't let me fight this fight by myself, ooh
Enlightened where I'd rather when united [?] (Right, we can go)
I need you (I need you)
I need you
(You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you)
[Verse 2]
Take a look to your left and right, you gotta know you're not alone
(Know you're not alone)
Understand you've got company
When you're walking through the storm
(Walking through the storm)
Don't think you're less than them
When you're reaching out for help
(Yeah)
Life a mistake that we all make
Thinking we could do it by ourselves

[Pre-Chorus]
(I know you know, I know you don't know me
But you don't trust me)
Yeah, I get that (But we must be) (We)
Willing to find the things at times together
Nothing's impossible, it's whatever, oh

[Chorus]
I need you
It's time we put our pride on the shelf (Put our pride on the shelf)
I need you
Hey, don't let me fight this fight by myself
Enlightened (I'll rise up) where I'd rather ([?]) when united
I need you (I need you)
I need you
[Bridge]
I need you
No man is a "nothing"
When I can't, baby, you can't
And when nothing is working
Let me hold you down
Whole lot of shoulder
There ain't nothing we can't do
That's how we gon' make it through

[Chorus]
I need you, girl
It's time we put our pride on the shelf (It's time we put our pride)
I need you
Don't let me fight this fight by myself
Enlightened where I'd rather (We're all brothers) when united
I need you (I need you)
I need you (Get down on my knees, my knees)
I need you
It's time we put our pride on the shelf (Put our pride on the shelf)
I need you
Hey, don't let me fight this fight by myself
([?]) Enlightened where I'd rather when united
I need you (You)
I need you (Oh, I like the way we do it but I wanna try another way)
Yes, we do
I need you (Oh)
Can you stand by me? (Oh)
No man is a "nothing"
So hold my hand
Not trying it by myself
And I don't wanna do it alone
I need you
I need all of my brothers to help and keep us strong
I need you
(I need you, all my brothers need you)
(I need you, all my brothers need you)
You, we all want
I need you
I need you (Said, "I need you")
I need you
